Files conflicts can occur for the following reasons:

•A file was modified on two or more hosts.

•A general I/O failure occurs on the source host after the file has been modified, but before the file is synchronized to all target hosts. In this case, the file is automatically quarantined.

When a file conflict is detected, the file is placed in the File Conflicts list and assigned a conflict status, which determines how the conflict is resolved.  The File Conflicts list is displayed in the File Conflicts view.

For an elaboration on conflict scenarios, see file conflict scenarios.
